Papa's Day

I just wanted to wish a happy Father's Day to all the dad's out there! This morning, I thought for sure that I would be able to come up with one wonderful story about me and my father, but I couldn't - not because there aren't any, but it's hard to put so many neat memories into one cohesive little narrative. I think that is one of the superpowers that fathers have over their children, larger than life when we are children - but people we love and respect as we get older, and if we are lucky, have the ability to forge a unique friendship.

So, I can say that some of my favorite moments as a kid with dad were rollerskating in the neighborhoods of sunny CA, building my first sand castles in Santa Cruz, road trips (there were a lot of them), drive thru movies (my dad would build a fort in the back of the Rover for me and my brother) and Friday night movies in front of the fireplace - which usually turned into a family slumber party in the family room.

My dad endured all my kooky Father's Day gifts through the years (a perpetual motion clock of a golfer, a box of rocks, many ties), and curiously, like any good dad - he has a special place where he keeps all of these little oddities from his little girl (which I'll always be in his eyes).
